Forest Tree Improvement Activities at the Lake States Station During the Past Two Years

The genetics work at the Lake States Station comes in several different packages. During the past 2 years laboratory and greenhouse facilities have been completed at the Hugo Sauer State Forest Nursery near Rhinelander, Wis., and our geneticist, Hans Nienstaedt, has moved there from St. Paul. This Northern Institute of Forest Genetics is the current location of a part of the work to be reported. Progeny tests dating back as much as 25 years are maintained by the Station's centers for research at East Lansing, Mich., Marquette, Mich., Wausau, Wis., and Grand Rapids, Minn. The work at these field stations is included. Also included is the work of the Forest Diseases Division in St. Paul on races of white pine blister rust.
